Corrie Chash and Broad Cairn (6180m) – Cairn Bannoch (1012m) Loch Muick occupies a dark, steep sided glen on the Royal family’s Balmoral Estate. It offers numerous levels of walking for all, including families. The Glas- Alt- Shiel Queen Victoria’s holiday home she built for her Albert lies at the far end of the loch and is roughly opposite the Streak of Lightening path which leads to Broad Cairn or Bachnagairn. The clubs adopted path state must be surveyed each year and a report sent in. It can be quite an interesting day out and lots to learn about path repair obviously it’s a slower pace than usual to allow noting wear and tear due to water damage etc.
